2 Samuelova 10
1 A poslije toga umrije car sinova Amonovijeh, i zacari se Anun sin njegov na njegovo mjesto.
And it came to pass after this, that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his stead.
2 I reèe David: da uèinim milost Anunu sinu Nasovu, kao što je otac njegov meni uèinio milost. I posla David da ga potješi za ocem preko sluga svojih. I doðoše sluge Davidove u zemlju sinova Amonovijeh.
And David said, I will shew kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father shewed kindness unto me. So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.
3 A knezovi sinova Amonovijeh rekoše Anunu gospodaru svojemu: misliš da je David zato poslao ljude da te potješe, što je rad uèiniti èast ocu tvojemu? a nije zato poslao David k tebi sluge svoje da promotri grad i uhodi, pa poslije da ga raskopa?
But the princes of the children of Ammon said unto Hanun their lord, Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? hath not David sent his servants unto thee to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it?
4 Tada Anun uhvati sluge Davidove, i obrija im brade do pola i otsijeèe im haljine po pole, do zadnjice, i opravi ih natrag.
So Hanun took David’s servants, and shaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, and sent them away.
5 A kad to javiše Davidu, on posla pred njih, jer ljudi bijahu grdno osramoæeni, i poruèi im car: sjedite u Jerihonu dokle vam naraste brada, pa onda doðite natrag.
When they told it unto David, he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.
6 Tada sinovi Amonovi videæi gdje se omraziše s Davidom, poslaše sinovi Amonovi, te najmiše Siraca od Vet-Reova i Siraca od Sove dvadeset tisuæa pješaka, i u cara od Mahe tisuæu ljudi, i od Is-Tova dvanaest tisuæa ljudi.
And when the children of Ammon saw that they were become odious to David, the children of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-rehob, and the Syrians of Zobah, twenty thousand footmen, and the king of Maacah with a thousand men, and the men of Tob twelve thousand men.
7 A David kad to èu, posla Joava sa svom hrabrom vojskom svojom.
And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.
8 I izidoše sinovi Amonovi, i uvrstaše se pred vratima, a Sirci iz Sove i iz Reova i ljudi iz Is-Tova i iz Mahe bijahu za sebe u polju.
And the children of Ammon came out, and put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate: and the Syrians of Zobah, and of Rehob, and the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.
9 I Joav videæi namještenu vojsku prema sebi sprijed i ozad, uze odabrane iz sve vojske Izrailjske, i namjesti ih prema Sircima;
Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Syrians:
10 A ostali narod predade Avisaju bratu svojemu da ih namjesti prema sinovima Amonovijem.
And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and he put them in array against the children of Ammon.
11 I reèe: ako Sirci budu jaèi od mene, doði mi u pomoæ; ako li sinovi Amonovi budu jaèi od tebe, ja æu doæi tebi u pomoæ.
And he said, If the Syrians be too strong for me, then thou shalt help me: but if the children of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I will come and help thee.
12 Budi hrabar, i držimo se hrabro za svoj narod i za gradove Boga svojega; a Gospod neka uèini što mu je po volji.
Be of good courage, and let us play the men for our people, and for the cities of our God: and the LORD do that which seemeth him good.
13 Tada Joav i narod koji bješe s njim primakoše se da udare na Sirce, ali oni pobjegoše ispred njega.
So Joab and the people that were with him drew nigh unto the battle against the Syrians: and they fled before him.
14 A sinovi Amonovi videæi gdje pobjegoše Sirci, pobjegoše i oni ispred Avisaja, i uðoše u svoj grad. I vrati se Joav od sinova Amonovijeh, i doðe u Jerusalim.
And when the children of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai, and entered into the city. Then Joab returned from the children of Ammon, and came to Jerusalem.
15 Ali Sirci kad vidješe gdje ih nadbiše Izrailjci, skupiše se opet.
And when the Syrians saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they gathered themselves together.
16 I Adarezer posla, te dovede Sirce ispreko rijeke, koji doðoše u Elam; a Sovak vojvoda Adarezerov iðaše pred njima.
And Hadarezer sent, and brought out the Syrians that were beyond the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.
17 Kad to javiše Davidu, on skupi sve Izrailjce, i prijeðe preko Jordana i doðe u Elam; i Sirci se namjestiše protiv Davida i pobiše se s Davidom.
And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in array against David, and fought with him.
18 Ali pobjegoše Sirci ispred Izrailja, i pobi David Siraca sedam stotina i èetrdeset tisuæa konjika; i Sovaka vojvodu njihova ubi, te pogibe ondje.
And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians [the men of] seven hundred chariots, and forty thousand horsemen, and smote Shobach the captain of their host, that he died there.
19 I kad vidješe svi carevi, sluge Adarezerove, da ih razbi Izrailj, uèiniše mir s Izrailjem, i služahu im, i Sirci ne smijahu više pomagati sinovima Amonovijem.
And when all the kings that were servants to Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with Israel, and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.
